Troubleshooting

Situation

Action

No Audio Output

Check AC Power. Is the power switch on? Check input and output connections - are they

 

reversed? Are you sure you have an input signal?

 

 

Controls Have No Effect

Is the Limiter In/Out switch In? Perhaps the Ratio control is set too low to produce an audible

 

effect or the input level is below threshold. Is the Threshold LED lighting up? If not, lower the

 

threshold setting or increase the gain. Do not expect to hear any effect when the input level

 

is below threshold, since the unit is simply a linear amplifier at those levels.

side effect of the gain altering process. If the noise becomes a problem, the solutions are to

either decrease noise at the program source, or use less compression.

Excessive Hum Or Noise

Hum is often caused by a “ground loop” between components. Try using the suggested

 

balanced input and output hookups if the other pieces of equipment used in conjunction with

 

the CLX unit have balanced inputs and outputs. Noise can also be caused by insufficient

 

drive levels. Make sure you are sending a nominal 0 dBV line level signal to the unit.

Note: Unshielded cables, improperly wired connections, and cable with broken strands (shorts, etc.) are the most common problems. Make sure you use good quality cable with connectors soldered firmly on the correct pin. When in doubt, get in touch with your Ashly dealer.
